Christmas Corns

Does anyone have a photograph of a Christmas corn for me? It's only very recently that I've seen a photo in a book but the photograph was rather small. Is it a proven genetic cultivar or just a name coined to a certain look? It's certainly not something I've ever heard a sniff of over here in the UK....

thanks in advance

Christmas Corns are a Hypo type Corn Snake. They have been developed by Bill Brant of Gourmet Rodents and sold as such for a few years. They are reported to have came from wild caught corns from Dausfuskie Island. They are a genetically reproducible Hypo Corn, but the type of hypo gene that it is has not been established yet. Is it one of the existing hypo genes, (Standard, Sunkissed, Lava, or Ultra) or a new one is a questions that we are trying to figure out at this time. It will take another year at least.

I have not seen many Christmas Corns, but this is a photo of one of the ones that was used in the Test Breeding Program this year.

Thank you so much for that, Joe. One of those things that was beginning to bug me and I just couldn't find any info on them.
